Doomsday Grain

The village head is not stupid, he was stunned after hearing this, and suddenly said: "You mean, it's because of the two of them that others feel that this convenience is lost?"

Lin Qian nodded and said, "This matter is not only for the benefit of the two of them, but also for the whole village. If it was before, no one in the village would be ashamed, but it's different now. The reservoir will be built a year later , the village will suffer for an extra year, and no one owes their family, so how can they let them just take advantage of themselves and let the whole village follow. But this idea is a little bit damaged. It must be hard for the two families to live in the village. Let me tell you this, if you don’t work, you can’t talk about it.”

Lin Qian came up with this idea from an outsider's perspective.There is a saying that special things are dealt with specially. This kind of fact has no choice but to resort to bad tactics. As for the consequences, they can only blame themselves for being too greedy.

"After all, he came back from the outside, and his brain is working." With such an idea, the village chief relaxed a lot.

Lin Qian looked at his grandfather: "Where, I learned from my grandfather."

Grandpa glanced at Lin Qian, but smiled silently.The village chief glanced at his grandfather, seeing his expression, and shivered for no reason.

People in the village generally felt that Lin Qian's family was honest and kind, mainly because the Lin family's father and grandson had always lived in seclusion and never had any conflicts with others.Although they are not close to the people in the village, the people in the village never come to look for work, so they naturally feel that the people in the Lin family are honest.

When Lin Qian was admitted to university, and later found a good job, the village still said that such an honest person was favored by God.

The village head has always felt so.In the past two years, life in the whole village has been difficult, but the Lin family has been enjoying a prosperous life.Before, he only thought that Lin Qian had seen the big world, and the friends who lived in his house had also seen the big world, that's why he had a good life now, but now that he just looked at it like this, it was clearly because of his shrewdness.

After a few more pleasantries, the village chief went home to rest.The moonlight outside is good tonight, and I can see the road.

After they were sent away, Grandpa began to teach Lin Qian a lesson: "Even if you are diligent, you are not afraid of him telling others what you came up with. Then those two families will blame you."

"Remember what you like, no matter how much you hold grudges, you can't beat me." Lin Qian said with a smile, "Besides, the village chief is a smart man. I didn't see how often he ran to our house this year, so he didn't bring it to our house." ugly."

"You understand again." Grandpa drove him upstairs, "Go to sleep, and you have to work tomorrow. In two days, someone in the village should finish their work, and then hire someone to help. Our family has a lot of land, so we can Relying on the two of you is enough to keep busy."

"Are you willing to spend food now?" Lin Qian teased as he went upstairs.

Grandpa glared at him and said nothing.Where is there anything he can't bear to part with, nothing is worth as much as his grandson.

The reservoirs in other people's houses were half busy, and Lin Qian's dry land was just finished, and the rice field began to be harvested.There is also a working rice thresher in the village, but most people in the village are reluctant to hire it, and they use the old method to manually thresh the rice.

It was already late at Lin Qian's side, so naturally he didn't want that trouble.I rented a thresher, beat out the rice grains directly on the ground, and took them home to dry.

It stands to reason that this should be dried, but the yard at the front of the house is a greenhouse, and it is not safe to dry it on the ground outside, so I can only borrow the dryer at home and lower the temperature a little bit to dry it.

The autumn harvest was finished, and all that was left was to dig the reservoir. Lin Qian and the two of them dug in the ground with a shovel.

The edge of one's own land is either someone else's land or the edge of the land.There is a not-so-wide ditch on the edge of the ground. The reservoir can be dug here, but it should not be dug too far into the road on the edge of the ground, otherwise it will be impossible for cars to pass in the future, and it will not be safe.So if you want a large area, you can only sacrifice your own land.

The two worked hard for two and a half days before digging the water storage pond in the dry land. It was not over after the digging was completed, because the land would seep water. Paste the cement board, and then spread a layer of plastic sheeting if you are not at ease.

The left and right are not for people to drink, nor for fish farming, but for growing vegetables.At most, some rice can be planted on top of the water, which does not require much water quality.

The reservoir is nearly five meters deep and more than three meters long and wide. It can store about 45 tons of water. The amount is scary enough, but for the land, it is not enough for a year.

After a cistern was completed, some people in the village had left it idle.Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Lin Qian had to speed up.

Ten people were hired, and three such deep pits were dug in the ground and cement boards were laid, and all the gaps were painted with cement to make the joints as tight as possible.

When the temperature dropped below ten degrees, Lin Qian's family dug the water reservoir in the dry land and moved to the paddy field.

The weather is getting colder and colder. In fact, doing these jobs is a bit of a crime.Lin Qian and the two would bring a smokeless stove every day and put it on the ground to cook a pot of ginger soup with sugar.When you are resting, or if someone feels cold, just come over and drink a bowl of hot ginger soup, which is also a bit of enjoyment after hard work.

Everyone in the village knows the situation of Lin Qian's family in the past two years, so every time Lin Qian hires someone to work, the villagers are very happy to come over. Not only is Lin Qian's salary high, but Lin Qian's family is also a caring, good thing. Never mean.

Although Lin Qian hired someone, Lin Qian's family was still the last one in the village to finish their work.The fact that there are few people working in the house is one aspect, and the reservoir is too meticulous, which is also the reason for the delay.

From the perspective of the whole village, the reservoir in Lin Qian's house was the most beautiful.Those who are lazy don't bother to make anti-seepage water, or save it for the next year.For those who prevent water seepage, there are only some plastic sheets at home, which are pieced together and spread in the reservoir, and they don't know how much water can prevent seepage.Only in Lin Qian's house, the cistern was made like a small swimming pool, and it could hold water at a glance.

But no matter how envious he was, there was nothing he could do about it. At this time, Lin Qian was willing to buy cement boards, and no one would be willing to spend this food.

This year there is firewood in the field, and fewer villagers choose to go up the mountain to buy firewood.This year Lin Qian sold a total of more than a dozen cars of firewood.After confirming that no one in the village wants to buy it, I also bought firewood for my family before the temperature dropped below zero, and the fuel for this winter will be solved.

Half of the fruit trees on the mountain died because of the severe cold last year, but the ones that survived seemed stronger and produced more fruit than last year.Grandpa kept ten catties of slices to dry in the sun, and another twenty catties were sold to the villagers, and the rest were sold to the army to take away.

And Lin Qian exchanged these fruits for twenty rabbits and some non-sensitive military supplies.

Lin Qian wanted a dog that could guard the house even more.There are military dogs in the country, and there are special breeds in this area. Even in this world, there are still some reservations. If it is a dog bred internally, Lin Qian is willing to spend any money to change it.Because he believes that such a dog is absolutely worth the money.

The government agreed, but when it can be delivered needs to wait for distribution, and it may not be available until the next year at the latest.

And the negotiated price is three piglets.

The three piggies, in exchange for a dog with military dog ​​blood, even before the end of the world, it was a profit, at least for Lin Qian.

After the autumn harvest, every household is exhausted.The temperature has dropped in the past few days, and the kang at home is so hot that lying on the kang for a few days is also one of the few enjoyments in this last world.

Although the harvest is still reduced this year, it is no problem to eat it for one or two years.There is a saying that one does not panic when there is food at home. At this time, looking at the food in the house is the most comfortable time for my heart.

At this time, another troop came down to the countryside to collect grain.Of course, it is not money, but all kinds of materials.From various daily department stores to wearable products, it looks like a small mobile supermarket.

No matter how stingy people are, they have just harvested at this time, and they will buy some things to make the family more convenient.Those families with old people and children want to buy some snacks to keep at home.

Sweets and soaps were the best sellers, and there were also several cheap cosmetics, which also sold.

Now the shops in the city are basically closed, and the small shops in the village only have some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and sometimes there is no stock. At this time, taking advantage of the harvest, it happened to lead to a shopping boom in the village.

Lin Qian planned to go to join in the fun, but the military trucks were completely surrounded, and he couldn't see what was being sold inside.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard someone calling him, and when I turned around, it was Uncle Liu who came here with a bouncing little raindrop.

Xiao Yudian is only one year and two months old, and now she is just like a three-year-old child. She is nearly one meter tall and looks very strong.

Lin Qian greeted her, and all her eyes fell on Xiao Yudian.

"Buy something for the child?" Lin Qian asked.This is the matter of bringing children here.

Uncle Liu nodded: "The child has never eaten good food since she was born. It happens that there is a little more food this year, so I will buy some snacks for her."

There is only such a little granddaughter in the family, so it is natural to hold it in the palm of my hand.

"Little Yudian, come here, uncle hug." Lin Qian squatted down.

Xiao Yudian burst into a smile, and threw herself directly into Lin Qian's arms.

"Have you learned to speak yet?" Lin Qian was so busy these past two months that he didn't go to Uncle Liu's house, but he really missed Xiao Yudian.

Uncle Liu shook his head, feeling a little worried: "I've been teaching, but I've never called anyone. This child has grown up to be like a two- or three-year-old child, but even the children from before should learn to call someone at such an age."

Children learn to speak from calling people, from the simplest to the gradually complex language.

It stands to reason that children who are seven or eight months old can call a few words vaguely, and it is almost the same if they speak so late.Speaking of the past, maybe he wouldn’t be in such a hurry, but this child is growing fast, and he hasn’t spoken yet. Seeing a naughty child running all over the ground, he won’t be able to call for help. How can parents not be in a hurry? .

"Maybe it's because he grows up fast, and it's too late to learn to speak. You can also be at ease, this child is stronger than anything else, isn't it?"
